Africa’s richest industrialist, Aliko Dangote, has rewarded top distributors and customers of Dangote Cement Plc with ₦15 billion worth of gifts, reaffirming the company’s commitment to growth and partnership.
The rewards were presented at the 2026 Distributors’ Awards Night in Lagos, themed “Partner for Growth.”
Beneficiaries received cash prizes, containers of cement, luxury SUVs, and CNG-powered trucks in appreciation of their loyalty and performance.
Speaking at the event, Dangote described distributors as the “heartbeat” of the company, praising their role in delivering products across Nigeria and translating corporate strategy into results.
He also restated the Group’s Vision 2030, which aims to transform Dangote Group into a $100 billion enterprise by expanding industrial capacity across Africa.
As part of this plan, Dangote Cement is targeting an expansion of its production capacity to about 90 million tonnes by 2030.
Dangote revealed that the Group is also scaling up other key projects, including expanding its refinery capacity from 650,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day, increasing fertiliser production to 12 million metric tonnes annually, and boosting output at its polypropylene plant.
According to him, Vision 2030 is driven by the belief that Africa’s future will be built by Africans who dare to think big and push beyond limits, with a focus on self-sufficiency, industrialisation, and sustainable economic growth.
